Which of the following is an instructional example of teaching through problem solving?
A)Providing students with a list of area formulas and asking them to find the area of a given rectangle.
B)Teaching students the algorithm for fraction division and then asking them to find out how many servings of 1/3 pizza could be made from 3-2/3 pizzas
C)Having students develop their own word problems that use a recently learned algorithm.
D)After students have conceptual understanding of the area of a rectangle,asking them to find the area of a triangle that was constructed by cutting a given rectangle in half and then to generalize their process to how they might find the area of any given triangle.

In this example, students are given a problem to solve that requires them to apply their understanding of the concept they have just learned (area of a rectangle) to a new situation (finding the area of a triangle). They are then asked to generalize their process to apply to any triangle. This promotes problem-solving skills and encourages students to think critically and creatively.
